- (1856-1913)
- August W. Stadler was a German immigrant and owner of the Cuyahoga Soap and Rendering Co..
- August lived at 1422 Denison Ave. He purchased 11 lots (LF01 thru LF11) in 1884 from Leonard G. Foster and thus was the first to buy into Foster's allotment.
- The large house was at the corner of West 15th St. and Denison. To the rear of the house, August had horse stables, a corn crib, and a wagon shed. At the curb, a rectangular slab of stone for easy entrance and exit from horsedrawn carriages.
- This home was to later house a Funeral Parlor operated by Benjamin Konarski. By the 1950's, it was called "Kilroy's", though the kids in the neighborhood had hardly any idea why. If you happened to be walking by the house, chances are you'd see a chalk drawing on the sidewalk with the caption "Kilroy was here" which was a popular saying. The actual fact is that there really was a Kilroy living there by the name of John Henry Kilroy, who had purchased the home from Benjamin, who also happened to be his brother-in-law.
- The house was subsequently torn down during the 1960's for the Jennings Freeway.
